Owen Funeral Home-Dixie Highway

Owen Funeral Home-Dixie Highway Bird S. Owen, Jr.opened the doors of his first funeral home on August 27, 1939. The Owen family now has two locations. Pre-planning can help accomplish this goal.

His goal was to provide a necessary service to people at their greatest time of need, and to do so as a neighbor and friend. Since that day, more than eight decades ago, we have honored his high standards and caring ideals in our daily endeavors. We believe that our dedication to sincere service has earned the respect and trust of our community. We pledge to continue providing the honest service began by Bird S. Owen, and to provide it with all the integrity he instilled in this family owned and operated business. Our staff is trained and licensed to assist with every detail of making funeral and cremation arrangements. This includes offering advice and guidance throughout the decision-making process, answering questions about local customs and costs, assuring that legal requirements are met, and providing whatever equipment, facilities, and technical services are necessary or desired. We are prepared to carry out the wishes of those making the arrangements with understanding and consideration for everyone concerned. When it is practical or possible, making funeral arrangements in advance of need can provide the peace of mind that all details have been taken care of in a way that is satisfying to oneself and one's survivors. A family discussion combined with our counsel can assure that everyone involved feels comfortable with the arrangements. Certainly we all would prefer that our loved ones be able to say afterward, "I'm glad we did" rather than "I wish I had."
